The process shall identify the following process activities and outcomes: statement of the problem; identification of the decision; decision inputs; study boundaries; decision rule; decision error limits;

optimal plan for obtaining data; and data assessment. Action levels shall be established based on regulatory guidance, standards, and/or thresholds prescribed. The Contractor shall utilize output from the DQO and TPP process in the development of the field sampling strategy. The TPP process is detailed in EM 200-1-2, Technical Project Planning (TPP) Process (31 August 1998).

4.10 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN (QAPP)

The contractor shall prepare and submit a QAPP if sampling of any media is to be performed. Field sampling shall not proceed without an approved UFP-QAPP and/or eQAPP in place unless a prior agreement has been reached with the USACE.

The contractor will develop a project (site)-specific QAPP following the Uniform Federal Policy-Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP-QAPP) guidance in the UFP-QAPP Optimized Worksheets, 2012. The project–specific QAPP shall include all components of a traditional Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and Work Plan (WP), but in the UFP-QAPP format. The UFP-QAPP provides instructions for preparing project-specific QAPPs for environmental data collection activities. The project-specific QAPP will detail Quality Assurance (QA) procedures, outline sampling approaches, methods, and define data quality objectives (DQOs). Furthermore, the project specific QAPP will reference applicable United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and USACE standards/guidance documents, as well as, the Contractor’s standard operating procedures (SOPs), as appropriate. The project-specific QAPP will assist in the management of available resources, inform the stakeholders of the type of activities to occur at the site, and the timeframe in which the activities will occur. The project specific QAPP will provide a description of all activities that will occur, include a detailed schedule of field activities, and define the personnel, equipment, and contracted services required for the project.

The project-specific QAPP shall be provided in the UFP-QAPP optimized worksheets 2012 format. The optimized worksheets format serves to help develop a unified work plan that integrates technical and quality control aspects of a project throughout its life cycle, including planning, implementation, assessment, and corrective actions. The project-specific QAPP will include steps to be taken to ensure environmental data is collected properly and that the data has the required quality for a specific decision. The information will be organized and presented in a systematic detailed format in which quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) will be applied to the collection and use of environmental data. Template Worksheets from the UFP-QAPP Optimized Worksheets 2012 are encouraged to be utilized to support the readability and flow of the project-specific QAPP, i.e., an executive summary or introduction, DQOs, etc. The project-specific QAPP shall identify property history and Department of Defense (DoD) historical use, present the Conceptual Site Model (CSM), and include potential chemicals of concern or target analyte lists that are being selected for the investigation. Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) projects will follow the same project specific QAPP except that munitions related hazards (munitions constituents (MC) and or munitions and explosives of concern – MEC) would be included.

The Contractor shall complete the project-specific DQO and Technical Project Planning (TPP) processes following the UFP-QAPP guidance in the UFP-QAPP Optimized Worksheets, 2012. DQOs shall be written in accordance with EPAQA/G-4. The TPP process shall be in conformance with EM 200-1-12. The USACE Louisville District’s technical manager, project manager, risk assessor, and chemist shall be involved with the processes. Additionally, both the DQO and TPP processes will include coordination with the State project representative and risk assessor, and possibly a USEPA representative. The processes shall identify the following activities and outcomes: statement of the problem, identification of the goals of the study, identification of information inputs, definition of the boundaries of the study, development of the analytic approach, specification of the performance or acceptance criteria, development of the detailed plan for obtaining data, development of the CSM, and definition of the current project. Project Action Levels (PALs) as defined in the UFP-QAPP Optimized Worksheets 2012 shall be established based on applicable regulatory guidance, standards, and/or thresholds such as applicable USEPA ecological or residential risk objectives. PALs must be agreed upon by USACE Louisville District project team prior to preparation of the UFP-QAPP. USACE Louisville District risk assessor will advise if other criteria such as the USEPA Regional Screening Levels (current version), or applicable State requirements, may be used.

The Contractor shall utilize output from the project-specific DQO and TPP processes in the development of the field sampling design strategy. The project specific QAPP will include a discussion of the selected sampling design strategy and rationale to answer the specific questions identified in the DQO process. Additionally, a discussion of how samples collected will be used to refine the CSM. A description of the methods and procedures to collect and analyze samples must also be included. Analytical method and reportable limits shall be established and identified in relation to identified PALs and DQOs. The laboratory shall confirm the capability to meet these parameters by signing the project specific QAPP.

The project-specific QAPP shall establish the minimum standards for record keeping, which will ensure documentation of all activities conducted, including chain-of- custody (COC) maintenance, sample disposal, development and implementation DQOs, contractor daily quality control (QC) reports, field and analytical measurement data, corrective action reports, data verification checklists, data validation and data usability assessment reports. COC procedures will be developed to ensure that sample integrity has not been compromised during the investigation. In addition, the project-specific QAPP shall specify the frequency and collection of environmental (Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicates) and field QC samples in the form of trip blanks, equipment rinsate blanks, and field duplicate samples.

Electronic Quality Assurance Project Plan (eQAPP) - The contractor will be responsible for setting up a project library (eQAPP) in ADR.net (or equivalent) consistent with the site-specific UFP-QAPP. The eQAPP (library) must be approved in conjunction with the UFP-QAPP by the USACE PDT chemist prior to submitting samples for analysis. Use of the eQAPP shall only apply to Task Orders awarded for FUDS projects.

Some task activities may cover environmental sampling or testing programs involving multiple tasks, multiple locations, and/or an extended period of performance. For example, a large-scale environmental monitoring program operating at many different locations. In this case, a program-wide QAPP may be required to describe the general performance standards that are to be applied throughout the program. Project-specific performance standards must either be added to the approved program-wide QAPP, or issued in a separate, project-specific QAPP, on a task-by-task basis.

4.11 ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP) AND SITE SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN (SSHP)

The contractor shall submit an Accident Prevention Plan (APP). A Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) shall appear as an appendix to the APP. The SSHP will need to be generated in accordance with Chapter 33 of EM 385-1-1.
